Our Affiliation

We are affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, the association of Conservative congregations in North America.

Our Shul’s Sisterhood offers a variety of activities that will bring “sisterhood” and a deeper connection to our synagogue family. During this year, Sisterhood will offer the following events (and more!) for our entire congregation and community (mark your calendars to save these dates!). General program and meeting topic will be provided in the Scribe, the Rabbi’s weekly updates, and through flyers.

Sisterhood Scrip Fundraising Program -Buy scrip and raise some money for Temple Beth Shalom at no cost to you! Use this Scrip Form. Also, if you have an Albertson’s Preferred Savings card, it can be linked to our TBS account. This document has our account number information:Albertson’s Scrip Program. Then, whenever you use your Preferred Savings card, TBS automatically gets the usual percentage. Ask a cashier to link your card to our account.

We also have scrip in the form of debit cards (gift cards). You purchase the certificates for face value and spend them just like money at the store.
TBS purchases them at a discount and the difference is a source of revenue to the Temple. We have Albertson’s, Bristol Farms, Stater Bros, and Macy’s. We are thinking of adding ARCO as well if there is enough demand.

Another no-cost-to-you fundraising option is eScrip. Your credit cards can be registered with them and anything you buy with those credit cards at any of their merchants will produce a percentage for TBS. Enroll online and they will send you your password.

Program Ideas – Do you know someone or have an idea for a great Sisterhood program? If so, we need your help! We’re always looking for great ideas.

Sponsoring an Oneg or Kiddush – Sponsoring an Oneg or Kiddush is a wonderful way to celebrate, honor, or even memorialize a friend, loved one, or event. If you are interested in sponsoring an Oneg or Kiddush hosted by Sisterhood, please contact Michelle Sztraicher or Nina Ayzenberg for further details.
